The Hanzo job:

(for up and comers)

The players fixer approaches them with a job offer, 10,000-15,000 to go in and snatch a sword from some ones house.

The sword in question is Hatori Hanzo’s sword, this sword was used by Hatori Hanzo back in the 1600/1700 era of Japanese history, when he was a shogun assassin. Once a great powerful Japanese lord commanded him but after his master was killed Hatori Hanzo became a ronin, a master less warrior, he wandered the lands looking for his masters killer to take revenge. Once his quest for revenge was satisfied Hatori Hanzo became what most ronin end up becoming, a mercenary for hire, renown for his mastery of the blade he quickly made a name for himself as an unbeatable warrior. He ferocity in battle was unmatched, their was no one in the lands that could beat him.

A few century’s after Hatori Hanzo’s death, the sword is said to have reappeared in the hands of a young general named Napoleon Bonaparte, it is said that the sword led him to some great victories. The sword was later seen in the hands of Brigadier General William Throsby Bridges, who led the Australians at Gallipoli.

Some time in the 21st century the sword went missing, until recently when John Wau, head boss for the Seattle arm of the Yukuza, he is showing it off at a party of his in two weeks time, to every major player in the Seattle area, Yukuza, Triads, Mafia, Mega-corps, Lone Star, Knight Errent, the heads of all these people are among the list of guests.


Some rumors about the sword:
The swords blade is so sharp that it cuts through light, rendering the user totally invisible.
During his “rebellious” years, Harlequin had this sword.
The sword is a strong magical foci.
The sword is the only weapon that can kill a dragon with one cut.
Who ever uses this sword is given the strength of all its previous users.
The sword actually changes its appearance to suit the user, and it was actually Excalibur, and the sword of Attila, and Kusanagi-no-tsurugi (japans Excalibur), and Zulfiqar (sword of the Middle Eastern prophet Muhammad), and the sword welded by Joan of ark, and many others.

The run for this sword is being spoken about on the shadowlands (web forum) by some people, a lot of people are saying that going for this sword is a stupid idea, manly because some people they know are going for it and they want to convince people to not go for it.

The PCs are being hired as a meat shield by a better equipped and informed running team, if they say no to the job the fixers is to call the “Johnson” and then tell the PCs the price has gone up to 25,000 for the job, and increase this in 25,000 intervals until 100,000 per head. If still no, it’s no hard feelings. The sword it self is worth 5,000,000,000,000 on the black market.

The security for this job is being done in 3 circles starting at the house and working outwards. Lots of ground presence on the grounds itself and out the front this is about 3-5 cars full of men with assault rifles ready to move to where the problem is.

The FBI will be their as will DocWagon
